Al Capone
A.B Al Capone was a very notorious gangster who was acused of killing at least 75 people. Born on January 12th, 1899 he was raised in Brooklyn, New York and joined his first gang as a kid. He dropped out of school in 6th grade at the age of 14. In 1919 Al Capone moved his family to chicago, There he commited all of his crimes, like the Valentines day murder, this was when he and other gang members walked around and shot and killed 7 people, some of his gang members dressed as poilcemaen so the people there thought that it was a poilce assault. Al Capone was also a very adicted gambler, he was in debt of over 200,000 dollars. After that in 1926 he got aressted for killing three people but only stayed in jail for one night because they had no evedince. Then on October 18, 1931 he was sentenced to jail for countless murders but couldn't stay in there because he bribed the poilceman and guards to do what he wanted. So because of that he was sent to alcatraz for a long time. After he got out of Alcatraz on November 16, 1939 he moved to florida and after a few years there, he died in Flordia on January 25, 1947.
Al Capone is known for being one of Americas most notorious gangsters in history. He was famous for controlling th chicago mob in the 1930s. He had many men killed in Chicago. His most famous killing occured on Valentine`s day. His men dressed up like policemen and faked a police raid on a rival gang. Then when the rivals backs where to the wall the fake police shot them in the back with Thompson Submachine guns (Tommy Gun). Although Capone was in florida when this happend he gave the order for his men to do it. In 1932 he was sent to Atlanta for Tax Evasion. But he was shipped to alcatraz because was getting specail treatment in Atlanta. If I were a member of the jury in the Al capone case I would say he is guilty I would say this because he killed alot of pepole.
Alcatraz Alcatraz! Even a mention of the word sends a chill down your spine and with good reason; it’s likely the most infamous in the U.S. First built in the 1840’s as a military prison, in 1933, it was turned into a federal prison. Since then it has gained a lasting legacy as a notorious prison by housing Al Capone, “Machine Gun” Kelly, and the bird man of Alcatraz, Robert Stroud. The prison was, however, sort of a village outside of the maximum security, even having a post office and grocery store. This of course would not stop people from trying to escape. Many people have tried to; however no person has ever truly escaped as multiple convicts are still unaccounted for. Two famous attemps were the 1946 " It was closed in 1963 due to cost, the same reason why the military turned it over, and became a national park.
